Can’t remember if ever seen this in full. Bret does a weird atomic drop that Misawa seemed to think was just going to be a double leg takedown. Time limit goes off in the middle of an Irish whip. Flat finish and the crowd is not happy. Apparently Bret has chosen this match to be on his new DVD release coming out this year.

Rude is calling out new champion Warrior already. Rude is as sweaty as Jim Cornette was in the previous segment.

Karate guys never seem to work out in wrestling or MMA. Looks like we are doing rounds here. Second round gets all crazy as they leave the ring and head into the hallway. Both guys get bloodies up pretty good. Not a whole lot of sportsmanship. Double clothesline leads to both men not making the ten count. I think anyways.

I think this is near the end for Jesse as commentary. Crowd seems to be a bit more on Hogan's side. Total big match feel. Crowd is huge. Big strength challenges between the two early which the crowd eats up. Hogan gets clotheslined to the outside and gets his knee hurt. Knee looking fine though after a couple minutes. Jess name drops Richard Belzer when Hogan gets the front face lock on. Hebner sucks. He really hurts these matches on repeated viewings. His counts are just awful. Warrior hulks up and hits the repeated clotheslines. Hogan barely kicks out on a supllex. Bearhug is our first slow moment of match. Hogan outsmarts Warrior on the flying shoulderblock. Hebner is down though so no pinfall. Warrior gets his own false three count. Hebner actually makes a decent false three count. Press slam/splash but Hogan kicks out! Hulk up. Looks like the same old finish but Warrior avoids the leg drop and gets the pin off the splash. Really smart worked match between the two. Match still holds up well to me. Hogan presents the title to Warrior and passes the torch. Well, for a couple months anyways. Even Jesse shows some respect towards Hogan.

Jake with the awesome prematch promo. Cut to match and Jake is looking to put on the DDT. Virgil gets involved. Million Dollar Dream outside the ring. Jake gets counted out though and Dibiase wins by countout. Ah, the old days with count out and disqualification results on WrestleMania cards. Roberts hits the DDT after that match and gives out some of Dibiase’s legit money to the crowd.

Andre pretty much stays outside on the apron the whole match. Haku hits Andre in error and Demoltion put Haku away. Boo, not the real Demoltion music being played due to paying royalties. Heenan makes a big mistake hitting Andre in the face and The Giant smacks Bobby around. Haku tries the Giant himself and that doesn’t go too well. Andre’s last harrah. He takes the ring cart for himself and departs alone. Too bad he became a physical mess but nice to see him go out this way.

I think they are working legal tags here but we playing lose with the rules. Not exactly dressed up as wrestlers. Some stiff looking kicks being thrown. Onita's powerbomb is pretty vicious when he folds guys up like that. Nice bloody brawl.

Stalling to start with Lawler insulting the fans. Kerry is having none of it and rolls up Lawler from behind while he is on the mic. Ahh, I can’t make out what Lawler said to Hat Guy but it gets a good rise out of the crowd and seemed to put Hat Guy in his place. Looks like Lawler dropped his foreign object by mistake. Lawler uses a fireball to get out of the Claw. Creative. Match wasn’t much though.

Looks like highlights of a stretcher match done previously. Hat Guy! Well without his hat. Nice use of the table/chair combo on the arm. It’s heavily wrapped up so it’s an obvious target. Into the crowd and up the steps we go. Well that’s a good way to get your opponent to try to quit by trying to throw them out of the press box. Drake kind of just leaves him and heads back the ring. Winters returns with a chair to his advantage. Piledriver on the floor. DDT on the floor on a chair. Kind of feels like offense for a last man standing match. Match kind of drags on. Screwy type finish where an Manager yelled into the mic that he quit and then put it in Winters hand looking like he was the one that gave up. Lots of other wrestlers show up and we have a post match brawl complete with some weak chair shots.
